Did you know:

1) Earth Day was founded 40 years ago by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson. And now, April 22 has become a day when countries and people all across the globe celebrate the Earth's environment and focus on developing an awareness of how we affect it.

2) Americans use and toss 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour?

3) A plastic bottle takes around 1,000 years to biodegrade!

4) Just one quart of motor oil can contaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water. You can properly dispose of your motor oil by taking it to your local Auto Zone, or similar stores.

5) Every year, each American throws out about 1,200 pounds of organic garbage that can be composted.
